“Our existing clients have been keen to see our designs in person so we’re proud that we’ll be able to showcase British craft talent,” said Lulu Lytle, founder and creative director of Soane Britain. “By having a presence here, we can do just that as well as collaborate more closely with designers new to Soane Britain. It is incredibly exciting.”Dianthus Chintz in Mutka Silk, left. Botanic Garden in Rhubarb, right.
